(Archive) Advertising District / Cyder Hill Theme Park

It takes more planning then that. When Sea World build Manta, the layout of the ride was partly determined by heights in relation to surroundings so that no one part of Manta didn't overpower the existing buildings and paths. It worked. He's just saying you should maybe have some more considerations in there.

Exactly. Main attractions typically work with their surroundings, not overpower their surroundings. This is not the case with specific rides like X or Millenium Force. They ARE designed to overpower their surroundings because of their immense layouts and lack of a true theme. It looks like you are trying to overpower a themed area with a massive ride. Which isn't the best thing. In my opinion of course.

it looks good, gives a nice japanese feeling.
some tips you migth want to consider:

- add some color to your walls. most of them are dull and blend it with the surround to much while the roofs stick out.
- use fences or thin scenery on the large pieces of roof to break them up a bit. try to use some darker colors there so it really gives a better feel for the roof. now those large pieces of roof feel flat. if you add some things to it, it will make it feel more as a steep roof.
- the foilage looks good. I like the idea of the trees, but I think the purple doesn't work. try a ligther or more yellow tone, that would work better.
- I think the transition from path to foilage is to "hard", see if you can place a fence between it. personally I think a small woodpole fence or wooden fence would look pretty good here.
- think about using steps in front of your buildings. many japanese buildings have steps before them. that would also make it easier for you to place the buildings and theme the front side better cause you can have some room between the road and the building.
- also japanese people will use laterns very often, not the ones we use on poles but laterns hanging on strings between buildings. this gives a narrower feeling to a path and enhances the atmosphere.


overall the screens look every nice.
hope you will keep your inspiration for this and things will turn out well. I'll keep an eye on this

Well i want to reply to some iof the comments later but i'll answer a few now.
I really wanted a large coaster in the asia area that was not the typical cliche, that is a B&M Invert. So i went with a large Intamin woodie, i have definitely accomplished that, the coaster will definately be the main attraction of the area, as guests can see it from everywhere its so big.

^Thanks for the suggestions, i appreciate the long post buddy. I'll definatley consider steps but i don't think in this situation it win't work as well as this is a sort of rural china, where nothings too fancy, just small huts. Roofs have been changed witha more steeper object thrown in. Also thanks for the lanterns tip, i totally forgot about those
BTW a fence has been added.

The screens look kinda boring to me. It would be a pretty much waste of my money if I would visit such a park in reallife, I like ride interaction, and here I don't see that, you have a coaster with path 2/3 tiles away from it, And with trees etc in front of it, I think it would be better if you have more interaction with the coaster, for example, the path going under the big corner in the second screen, that way, you can really feel the coaster going around you, and make pictures of it if you want, now can photograph some weird coloured trees, but that is it. 

Good luck Goliath, it seems you are improving a lot. Can't wait for more.

I use photobucket, if you use jpeg you can post like a million pics without even having a full photobucket

I mean like no registration and all that crap, thanks for helping out though.

oh sorry if thats the case I can't help you

Use Kumba his uploader then. 




I have 2 photobucket accounts, but nowadays I just put them on my own server  

But why don't you want to sign up to photobucket? You also don't have msn I think, set up an @hotmail.com email account, use that for msn and use it to register on photobucket, and you are done  

tinypic.com

Tinypic says invalid image and comes up with jpg, bmp, etc
When i put img arounf the url after uploading with kumbas it says invalid format :/

what format are you using?

btw ImageShack is back already again.

Nope it says no files where uploaded.

This what i get on photobucket:

Image upload failed
Upload failed for SCR14.BMP with error: Resize error: - IMP: Invalid format (jpg|bmp|gif|pcx|png|psd|tif)

well try to convert it to a jpg or something first than .... maybe that works.
it looks to me as if the problem is with the screenshot and not the uploader.

us mspaint to save as a png, upload it to imageshack. or imgur.com. this isn't a hard thing to do.

Ok it seemd that the image was bugged so i just re did it with paint again uploaded to imgur, thanks tE,



I'll post on to page 1 as well

What is that for a theme?

Fairytake Forset obviously.
Look up fairytale cottages for where the inspiration came from on google.

Ok.

Use another roof texture, this one is definately overused.
I am not a fan of the pink roof + I neither like the red, nor the green
tent roof.

Architecture seems a bit boring, rest looks okay.
